The Art of Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Thierry Escaich & Eloïse Bella Kohn

The Art of Fugue is a collection of contrapuntal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work systematically explores contrapuntal techniques centred on a single principal subject, employing a wide range of fugal devices and rigorous voice-leading, and it occupies a central place among Bach's late compositions and in the study of Baroque counterpoint.
